We walk into the fair, and the first thing I wanna do is ride something! I look around feeling like a little kid. Everyone kinda starts to split up, and I decide to follow Haru. He’s quiet and I'm awkward, so maybe we can find something we have in common. He turns to look at me.

“Why are you following me?” he asks.

“I wanna get to know you better,” I say honestly intrigued by him. He nods.

“Same,” he says. I smile and walk beside him grabbing his hand. He glances at me as if I'm weird. I giggle knowing I am weird.

“So what ride do you wanna ride first?” I ask. He points to the ferris wheel. “Heights? Okay so I guess we're dying today” I laugh at myself.

Haru gives my hand a squeeze, “I won’t let you die” he says causing me to blush.

“Jeez thanks man, I won’t let you die either” I say. We continue to walk towards the ferris wheel. The line is small. We climb onto the ride and get comfortable.

As the ride starts to move Haru turns to me, “Tell me why you don't seem to want to get close to anyone,” he says looking at me.

“YOU TRAPPED ME!” I say. He nods.

“Ugh, well… okay so long story short in middle school I had this crazy stalker dude following me around. I didn’t know he was a crazy stalker dude until he tried to off one of my friends, and we found pictures of me in his bag.” I say, he nods for me to continue. “He was put in this mental institution, and was supposed to never be released unless his possessive ways showed to be not harmful.” 

“Harmful? Did he hurt you?” he asks. I sigh not enjoying sharing this story, but I guess I have to eventually.

“Yes, but not enough to leave marks. The real scars he’s left me with are mental,” I say.

“Then why do you flinch so often?”

“Ugh cause I haven’t had the best experiences with men growing up and physical things, that I  don’t initiate freak me out sometimes, a lot of times,... all the time,” I say. “And I’m not saying ugh at you, I'm saying ugh because whenever I talk about a sad part of my life, I’m scared people will think I’m looking for pity. I do not need pity. I am a strong independent happy bi boy” I say nodding. 

“Your BI?” he asks.

“Yeah, does that make you uncomfortable?” I ask.

He shakes his head no as the ferris wheel stops at the top. “Good, cause that would suck if it did. Man this ferris wheel is slow” I chuckle. Haru places his hand on mine.

“Thanks for telling me, I'm sorry I trapped you,” he says smiling slightly.

“It's all good,” I smile as we both look out over the small fair. 

Eventually the ride ends, and me and Hru are both safe on the ground.

“That was fun, I feel better now.” I say. He looks at me.

“I’m glad. You should try talking to me or the swim club about your problems more often. No one will pity you. We can help the bad things swim away,” he says. I laugh.

“That'd be nice” I smile, as we reconnect with the other group. Nagisa grabs my hand pulling me over to him.

“(F/N), come play a game with me!” he says smiling. I nod, as once again I’m parted from the group.

Makoto POV

I walked up to Haru. “What did you guys do?” I ask.

“The ferris wheel,” he responds as we walk up to a concessions stand.

“Fun,” I smile a little jealous honestly.

“(F/N) is bi,” he says randomly. I look at him shocked.

“How do you know that? And why are you sharing that?” I ask, confused but also happy I now have this info.

“He told me. I don’t think he’d care that you know,” haru says.

“Thats good, but you should ask before sharing something like that Haru. It’s not your place to out him to others,” I say still glad I know. He nods, as we start to order some food.
